What is Epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain.

A single seizure does not necessarily mean a child has epilepsy. Epilepsy is usually diagnosed when a child experiences repeated unprovoked seizures or when investigations suggest a high risk of recurrence.

Common Symptoms of Seizures in Children

Symptoms may vary depending on the type of seizure and the area of the brain involved.

Possible signs include:

Sudden staring spells
Repeated blinking
Loss of awareness
Jerking movements of arms and legs
Body stiffening
Sudden falls
Lip smacking or chewing movements
Eye rolling
Brief confusion
Unresponsiveness
Repetitive unusual behaviors

Any unexplained episodes of altered awareness or abnormal movements should be evaluated by a pediatric neurologist.
